Martin McDonagh’s latest film, The Banshees of Inisherin, received a stonking nine Oscar nods this week when the nominations were announced.
The film, which is set on a fictional Irish island in the Twenties, follows what happens when friend Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson) ends his longtime relationship with Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell). Kerry Condon plays Siobhán, Pádraic’s sister, and Barry Keoghan plays local boy Dominic Kearney. Incredibly, all of the actors picked up Oscar noms for their work in the film.
